Update--We got the results of the PET scan. They say the cancer had spread to both sides of the neck and surgery is not an option, because of the extensive surgery he has already had and the amount of radiation damage. Not to mention that overstressed extensively patched carotid artery.

The good news, however, is that it didn't show cancer in any other part of his body. Of course, they were quick to remind us that that doesn't mean there can't be some microscopic traces that don't show on the scan. Grrrrr.....
Didn't really need to hear that at this point.

The plan now is to do chemotherapy. We see the specialist this Friday afternoon to get that arranged.
